Hi
Why not use cpan to download, build and install?

(1) This isn’t an applications question. Please ask a mod to move it to
programming

(2) You don’t show the commands that you are using to try to install the
module. You also spell it incorrectly, so please cut and paste computer
output in code tags!

Hello dear Malcolm hello dar djh-novell,

many thanks for the answer
@ djh-novell - i will try to ask a mod to help me movin this thread to the programming-forums…

many thanks to you Malcolm for your help.

i will do as advice!

on a sidenote: Well we tried to install www::mechanize::firefox through CPAN. The hard thing is that i face that CPAN does not handle all dependencies, Isn’t it supposed to handle all dependencies automatically?

We see that there are loads of dependencies that need to be installed before we can install Mechanize. I see that i run sometimes into serious problems. - See the make issues(below) that i often run into!

I heard about **this package: ** Task::Mechanistic::Firefox wihch contains lots of stuff that is needed.
see detailed inof at the CPAN-Page: Task::Mechanistic::FireFox

Khen, the guy that put together all this told this - since there are loads of dependencies that need to be installed before we can install Mechanize. Sure, CPAN does exactly what it is told to do. The authors of the dependencies are supposed to to tell it to install prerequisites: however, apparently they don’t always do that, so some dependencies end up in the wind, causing the problems that we are encountering.

So Malcolm, what d o you think, should we give this package a try!? CPAN-Module: Task-Mechanistic-Firefox-0.01/lib/Task/Mechanistic/Firefox.pm it is created by Khen1950fx@aol.com

regrading the Make-Test: ** this is a difficult issue i run several times into - e.g. here i also had a bad make-test too: And on a sidenote: a guy told me to take care with the installation. He pointed out that the bad make-test can be caused by an installation for only one user** - and not the whole system

Daxim, a user of Stackoverflow answered this: This happens when MozRepl::RemoteObject cannot be loaded. Install MozRepl for the system, not your user only.

What do you think - is it possible that i run into problems since i do a messed up installation - with parts of it

  • installed as superuser [root], and other parts of it
  • installed as user [martin]

What do you tink - is this possible. Can this be a cause of the issues i am faced!?
As noted above, this is only a short answer since i am not at home right now. i am in the office - I get home later the evening then i can continue the work on the notebook with Perl, then i will do all you adviced me!

Again, many many thanks for the help in this sophisticated task!
